action

Travis Parker's luxurious life with a good job, a house by the sea, good friends, a loving family and uninhibited affairs is turned upside down by his new neighbor, the pretty medical student Gabby Holland. The two are constantly bickering and seem absolutely not on the same wavelength. Still, Travis feels magically drawn to her and is even considering a committed relationship for the first time in his life. Gabby, however, defends himself quickly against the charming advances of the humorous veterinarian. But even they don't leave his carelessness, his mischievous wit and his self-confidence indifferent after a while. Much to the chagrin of Gabby's longtime boyfriend, Ryan, who can't help but notice their sizzling attraction. Travis, however, fights stubbornly for his dream woman, without realizing that this love will still make him face a very big decision.

After six happy years, Gabby suddenly suffers a serious accident. She has been in a coma for several months, but unexpectedly wakes up. She will get well again and go home to her husband and children.

reception

The film received mostly negative reviews. At Metacritic , the film received a Metascore of 26/100 based on 23 reviews, with Rotten Tomatoes 11 percent of the 65 reviews were positive.

The film service describes the film as an “overconstructed, intrusive staged drama” that intones “a song of praise to love” without “adequately characterizing the characters”. Only the main actress captivates "with her mixture of scratchiness and naturalness".
